I found many other reviews, simply by googling.
If we're going to "constructively" comment on the review... I'd have to say that it lacks some information:
Where's the pic of the so called pitted block? The pic shown is from the Ahanix website (as most of the pics appear to be).
"The rad housing is thermoplastic." Yeah, that's what the website says. What info is NOT on the website, about the parts?
There's a reference to a brass barb with the pump, which is not included: so where did it come from? What about galvanic corrosion?
"Water jacket A 95% Al, 5% Cu Alloy is used ...", Is that a typo? What does it mean?
"The temperatures were taken at the CPU core by a digital doctor 5". Ok, so we don't know what to expect, we have a general idea that, the hotter you run your CPU, the hotter it will get: no news there! More accurate measurement would be needed.
"Since this motherboard has a voltage mod done to it I could not get the default 1.75vcore for the default speed test ...". this might have been good reference data, if it wasn't for the temp measurement method.
"Surprisingly enough as I began testing the limits of this setup I found I was able to get an xp1600@1800 MHz 1.9vcore for a day before a crash would occur. At 1750 MHz under full load it was rock solid stable for days without crashing. ". That is not useful information. If anything, it indicates a good overclocking CPU.
All in all, this review looks like it was slapped together real quick. It doesn't provide any usefull info, at least none that the Ahanix website already provides.
